Greetings, XJO community. This message was encrypted using Kleopatra GPG4WIN; run through a paste bin (which gives a nice short URL); then sent by XJO ‘tx comms’ from one QT to another (with a tiny payment).
Then run again through the paste bin, to get the encrypted message, which was decrypted, and this is it, posted here in the ANN thread.
XJO is a datacoin, and we should focus on this splendid feature.


Big thanks to IMZ for teaching this

Cryptopia: Update: We have transitioned 24% of all wallets to our new secure servers. Once the read only site is online, we will be keeping users up to date on which wallets have been checked and secured via the coin info page.

Update, Cryptopia posted a few Twitter updates, from their responses, they are implying trading might resume shortly.

Small overview of 42 coin exchanges

Trade Satoshi - exchange with chat/trollbox, faucets (free coins to get you started), and a working support line, as well as chat tips. Has minor GUI bugs that sometimes occur,
                       nothing serious, easy verification with very little info, 2FA enabled. Chart has poor indicators.
                      Withdraw fee is 0.00000005 42 coins
                      42 pairs: BTC, DOGE, LTC, ETH
                      50 confirmations for deposits
                      Overall OK

Livecoin - exchange with a working support line. 2FA enabled, no ID verification necessary. Chart has poor indicators.
               Withdraw fee is 0.00000100 42 coins
               42 pairs: BTC, ETH, USD
               8 confirmations for deposits
               Overall OK

Nova Exchange - exchange with chat/trollbox, 2FA enabled, easy ID verification, working support line. Chart has poor indicators. Could have better design of listed/traded coins.
                         Withdraw fee is 0.00000015 42, formed with TX fee and withdraw fee together
                         42 pairs: BTC, DOGE
                         40 confirmations for deposits
                         Overall OK

XBTS - decentralized exchange, no verification necessary
            Withdraw fee is 0.47737 BTS(Bitshares) and 0.0001 42 gateway fee
            (have yet to make deposits)

Note that confirmations are set by the exchange, not the network. They range from 8-50 confirmations, so with a 20minute block time, 50 confirmations in around 17 hours.

Update: Price listed on the explorer is now linked to https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/42-coin, not Cryptopia.

In a few notes:
1. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/42/ in the upper left corner has a "Price" tag, and when you mouse over it, it shows that the source of the information is ---https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=42_BTC
2. When Cryptopia went down, the price tag went to 0.00. (when trading was closed, my guess)
3. Price tag has now been updated for a few days BUT
4. When the price tag was updated a few days ago, it showed some 4.37BTC if I recall right. At the time of writing, 21.02.2019., the price tag is now 4.28BTC. Therefore,
5. Its weird at the least, the price tag movement I mean

Cryptopia related update. The price listed in the upper left corner of the explorer is changing, which would imply something is going on the website, we just cant see it yet, apart from the "cough" trades going on. Hope that is not the case.

Hopefully some good news, the price of 42 coin listed on https://chainz.cryptoid.info/42/ in the upper left corner has been updated and the source for that information is from Cryptopia. So I am keeping hopes up they are comming back online or at least that the funds have not been touched
(the price listed on the explorer went to 0.00 when Cryptopia was hacked)

Thats right!

I keep learning new stuff about this coin by the day. You should all join communication channels, Telegram, Discord, this forum. Information is rare as the coin, but there is value in that too.

Personally, I find it so much fun giving it a "Deep Thought"

Update:

Nova Exchange working great, Livecoin working great(a transaction a few days old went through, the specific wallet is now online, so thats a point there), Trade Satoshi even has a working faucet(free coins you can pick up and start trading with, so point there)

Heard about altmarkets reopening trade too, so will check that out too

we have a saying: "You are, like the ones you hang out with."
and i am hanging out here with you

I have a great teacher, hehe. Thank you IMZ for the lectures!

I see we keep getting more members in our community, but I also see most of the new members are quite new to the whole crypto world, same as me, so I have decided to write something as a heads up from my short but intensive experience.

1. Use simple trading methods in the beginning.

Brief explanation of how to trade:
Buying: 42-coin price is going down (you get that info on coinmarketcap/ looking at exchanges)
a) you pick a currency (USD/BTC/ETH/etc.), and you "position" your BUY order close to the price it is at (example: 42 coin is dropping to 2BTC in price, you place your BUY order at, lets say at 1.95BTC)
b) and now you wait until it fills a.k.a. you BUY the coin

Selling: 42-coin price is going up (you get that info on coinmarketcap/ looking at exchanges)
a) you take some 42-coins you own, and you "position" your SELL order close to the price it is at (example: 42 coin is going up to 6BTC in price, you place your SELL order at, lets say  5.95BTC)
b) and now you wait until it fills a.k.a. you SELL the coin

2. When moving funds from wallet (and you should ALWAYS keep the majority of your funds in a "cold"/paper wallet, desktop wallet, AND it should be BACKED UP) make sure the network is up and the wallets are up on the exchange ( and NOT in maintenance mode or offline). Neglecting this could result in loss of your funds.
a) keep funds in a safe place (backed up on a USB stick or something else)

3. Test exchanges with a small transaction first. Since you can transfer very small amounts from your desktop wallet, do a small 0.00000050-0.00000100 42 coins transaction first and wait until it gets deposited.

4. Check the wallet and network status on the EXCHANGE. If its offline or in maintenance mode, wait for wallet status online, and only then proceed, again with a small test transaction first

5. Join all the communities. Telegram, Discord, forums, and participate

Hi IMZ, i have been thinking about all you said, and am really trying to do my best, i followed your advice, and now am waiting on to see how all this will turn out. What i find hard is the fact no one is selling larger chunks, rather its all so scattered around and in "cold wallets". What is weird, i want to buy, put in a buy order and no one sells. then i buy some from the sell orders, and then 2 days later, new coins coming at so much lower than what i bought for... making the hunt for larger chunks that much more painful

i made an Nova Exchange account, and got it verified, all under 30minutes in my case. Starting trades there soon. so far so good.

Hi,

just wanted to write something since i see it as a positive thing all together. So i have been using Livecoin and one of the deposits was slow on coming to my balance. So i opened a ticket on Livecoin, and 1) got a response almost immediately and 2) it was sorted by the technical team in some 5 minutes. I must say it was a pleasant experience.

it might seem like im only promoting Livecoin, but i would like to assure you that is not the case. Cryptopia went down, so i switched with all reservations possible since i have always thought of Livecoin as "scammy" due to the "lacking in professionalism of the home page because of the blonde haired guy pointing nowhere". So i did the transition step by step and it was great since the confirmations for deposits are only 8x, and Lasergun doing a great job making the funds available for PC wallets pretty much on the first 1-2 confirmations.

now i am glad i did it while the price is still so low

Update: managed to put my account on Livecoin to use, i would like to confirm the exchange works just fine (has some minor GUI details i would like to change, but thats just me)
Used 42 and BTC, working great.

For those switching to Livecoin for 42 trade: check which wallets are online before making a deposit to start trading. I will post when i get an answer from support about the deposit and wallet status. Little remark: EOS wallet offline for a week or more now. Rest seems fine.
